Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan is the first commodities trading game for the GBA. Set in the early 1800s on the high seas around the globe, the player captains a ship, chooses a first mate and sets out to explore new worlds. Trade at exotic ports, sell goods on the black market, all the while fending off bloodthirsty pirates, mysterious mermaids and bounty hunters. The game will have six maps to unlock, 36 types of commodities to trade, 30 ports to explore and 25 ship upgrade features.
